Thank you so much for this video. I've never done anything remotely close to this in my life. The only mistake I made was drilling 2 holes on top and 1 one bottom. Oh well I added the large faceplate to cover my mistakes and the holes from previous thermostat. 1st electrical thing I've ever done. I will be doing more. Oh yeah I'm a 60 year old woman.

I was sitting here screaming at the Alexa app instructions for being difficult, so thank you for saving my sanity.

Great video. I just purchased one and will be installing it. I am interested in learning about the Alexa Automatic control features on the app.

I was able to pop my honeywell thermo out and put the amazon one in its place. Exact same internal box. But i did end up switching because the backplate was different and You could see the screws. But if you have a Honeywell check and see if it matches. The Amazon is made by honeywell. Could literally take you 1 minute to change it, counting flipping the fuse

I felt like I was doing calculus with the wire reprogramming of a c-wire adapter but i figured it out. Take pictures and write everything down

[jasonhill]

Does it work with no WiFi? (After Initial setup) Can the energy saver feature, tap into power company's fluctuating daily pricing?

[AP-phhf]

That is the same mounting plate used by the Honeywell Lyric T5. How do I know this? I installed 3 Lyric T5s in my home 4 years ago.

What if I have several more wires? Do they plug into the other letters?
I have yellow, green, red, White, blue(c), e(gray), orange, plus a pink black and brown that aren’t hooked up.

Any thoughts on using this thermostat with a dual zone system? Specially if you can ask "Alexa raise upstairs temp to 73" for example?

Hey sir what happens if you do all this and get the thermostat installed but the furnace fan or (blower) stays on even when you tell the thermostat to turn off? It just keeps running and running. We had to kill the breaker to HVaC outside just to get it to stop. Thanks!

Hey thanks for the video, the wires I have are red, green, white, and blue. Red=rc, green=c, white=w1, and blue is plugged into pek. What would pek be on the amazon thermostat?

[RBickersjr]

Now what if I have more wires than it are required? Like I have an o/b wire in my current one as well as one that is connected together with another slot. Do the instructions explain that?

[ThreePhaseHigh]

I just installed the thermostat was easy both the wiring and programming. Only one question how do you turn the fan on or to automatic from your phone? It’s easily done at the thermostat but how do you do it at your phone ?

[sliperymangravy]

I'm just beginning to get into the smart thermostat. I notice that it has an option for a C-Wire attachment. What exactly is this for? I'm not sure if it's something I need. 🤔

[ShakerHP]

What are those 2 blue (what look like switches) at the bottom of the wiring plate? How do i know if i need use either one or both?

[edgelordlive]

Quick question: I have an orange wire. Is that going to be an issue? Or do I just need to cap it?

[miguelprada]

Would the features of this thermostat work work as intended without the c wire?
Thanks

[scott]

Please answer this one question. Can you control your furnace fan from your smartphone? Or only from the thermostat itself. If you can please tell me how fast because I must return it by tomorrow.

[thegreenteam]

On my old Ritetemp thermastat, there is a horseshoe shaped jumper wire from RH to RC. Do I use it on the amazon thermostat?

[danwhitman]

My existing thermostat only has red, blue, and white connected. The yellow and green wires are there, but not connected to the existing thermostat. Should I connect these to my amazon thermostat?
